Frequently Asked Questions
Is 75 feet too long for a Cat5e cable to maintain full Gigabit speeds?
No. Cat5e is rated for runs up to 328 feet (100 meters) at Gigabit speeds, so a 75-foot run is well within the standard and will deliver full performance.
Why choose purple for a network cable?
Purple is useful for color-coding your network infrastructure. Many administrators assign colors to different network segments, VLANs, or device types to make troubleshooting and cable tracing easier.
Can this cable be used outdoors?
This is an unshielded indoor patch cable and is not rated for outdoor or direct burial use. For outdoor runs, you would need a cable with UV-resistant and weatherproof jacketing.
Does this cable comply with any industry standards?
Yes, it meets UL Code 444, National Electrical Code requirements, and TIA-568-C.2 specifications for Cat5e performance.
